spent 8 days in Costa Rica. serendipity adventures was the local company that KimKim referred us to. we had an amazing trip. bryan and wilman from serendipity helped us plan out the trip. we went with a private driver/guide option. our guide was Vladimir if you hire a driver request Vladimir he was best driver/guide ive had. got private tours for us and looked out for us all the time. excellent restaurants recommendations. driving in CR can be challenging and do a driver if you can. we did the white water rafting. really enjoyed it. we r older in 70’s. it was a challenge but worth it. did the tree climb. actually got pulled up. had a great lunch made by a guide. its a really cool activity. out in the evergreen forest. we also did the Selvatura Park. Valdimir arranged private tour of reptiles and butterflies. did hike to first 3 hanging bridges. this was a really cool activity. recommend doing the park. we loved the 3 different hotels. really nice rooms and great views with all 3. serendipity set up a really nice trip. no issues or hiccups. all went smoothly. i highly recommend both kimkim and serendipity for travel to Costa Rica
